Zucker notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker snapped a four-game point drought in this contest. The 32-year-old winger played on the top line and led the Sabres' forwards in ice time (20:54). Zucker is up to 15 points (six on the power play), 37 shots on net, 27 PIM, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating over 25 appearances. He's put together a decent start to the campaign, and if he sticks on the top line, he's worth a speculative add in most fantasy formats.

Zucker scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker has goals in consecutive games and has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight outings follow a dry spell of equal length from Nov. 9-14. His tally late in the second period tied this contest at 2-2, and the Sabres went on to win in overtime on a Jiri Kulich goal. Zucker is up to five goals, 14 points, 30 shots on net, 27 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 20 appearances. He had 32 points in 69 regular-season outings between the Coyotes and the Predators in 2023-24, so he's well on his way to a bounce-back campaign.

Zucker scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker opened the scoring 38 seconds into the third period, and that was the lone goal of the game. He snapped a seven-game goal drought with the tally -- the winger had three helpers (two on the power play) in that span. Zucker has been a middle-six fixture at even strength, but he's seeing top-unit power-play time in the absence of Tage Thompson (lower body). For the season, Zucker is up to four goals, 13 points (six on the power play), 26 shots on net, 25 PIM, 11 hits and a plus-2 rating over 19 contests. He's worth a look in fantasy as long as he continues to be productive on offense, particularly with the man advantage.

Zucker logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker has gone seven games without a goal, picking up three assists and nine shots on net in that span. The 32-year-old winger has done pretty well in a middle-six role with power-play time, earning 12 points (five on the power play), 23 shots on net, 10 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 contests. Zucker has peaked in the 40-50 point range most of the time, but that's enough offense to be worth a look in fantasy.

Zucker found the back of the net and added an assist in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker has scored in three consecutive contests and is riding a three-game point streak after Friday's two-point performance. The left-shot winger has provided solid fantasy value in a middle-six role while filling a spot on the top power-play unit. Zucker is in a three-way tie for second on the team in points with nine (three goals, six assists). The 32-year-old has added 14 shots, three blocks, five hits and a plus-1 rating across 11 outings.

Zucker scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker has a power-play goal in each of the last two games. If he can stay on the first unit, that would give him a better avenue to offense than his third-line role at even strength. For the season, Zucker has two goals, five assists, 12 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 10 appearances.

Zucker scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was Zucker's first of the campaign, but he's settled in pretty well to a middle-six role since the Sabres came back from Prague. He has earned six points over his last seven games, accounting for all of his offense on the year. The winger has added 10 shots on net, four hits, three blocked shots and 16 PIM through nine contests overall.

Zucker picked up two assists in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger had a hand in a Jordan Greenway tally in the first period and a Ryan McLeod goal in the third that gave Buffalo its last lead of the night. After being held off the scoresheet in the first three games of the season, Zucker has notched three helpers in the last two.

Zucker signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Sabres on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker had 14 goals, 32 points, 81 PIM and 98 hits in 69 regular-season contests between Arizona and Nashville in 2023-24. He'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity next season. Given that this is just a one-year deal, it wouldn't be surprising if Zucker is involved in a midseason trade should the Sabres fall out of the playoff hunt.

Zucker logged an assist, three hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker has a goal and an assist over two playoff contests, already more offense than he had in his last eight regular-season outings (one goal). The 32-year-old winger looks set to stay in a middle-six role during the postseason. He should also see some power-play time, but the strength of the Predators' top line makes it tough to rely on their depth forwards for scoring.
